What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Sticks Coffee is praised for its unique and delicious specialty lattes, particularly the Sticks Latte and Happy Camper. Diners also rave about the tasty breakfast sandwiches and the charming atmosphere, including a lovely outdoor patio. While most reviews are overwhelmingly positive, one reviewer found the ambiance less appealing due to the lack of music and a TV playing news.
"While on a road trip I stopped at the Sticks Coffee in Mariposa, CA, and I have to say—it was an absolute delight! I ordered the Happy Camper Latte, and it was nothing short of magical. The latte was rich and perfectly balanced, bursting with cozy, comforting flavors. But what really stole the show were the custom marshmallows—each one was a little cloud of sweetness that melted in my mouth and added an extra layer of fun.
The overall vibe of the cafe is charming and inviting, with a warm atmosphere and attentive service. Whether you're a local or just passing through, I recommend you stop by the Sticks Cafe as a must-visit spot for a unique and indulgent treat."

"Stopped here on our drive out of Yosemite and I'm not exaggerating when I say that the Sticks Latte is the best latte I've ever had. As someone who loves the flavor of black licorice, this drink was so perfectly balanced. The only negative is that this shop is located so far from where I live 😭 I'll be planning a trip back just for this latte I swear. It's also a very cute little coffee shop in a cute mountain town, and the food was tasty and well priced."

"Excellent breakfast option in Mariposa! I had their delicious breakfast sammie and lovely Happy Camper latte - everything was SO good - service was friendly and prices were decent too.
The breakfast sammie is eggs, bacon, cheese, and avocado with an unexpected but fantastic bit of pickled peppers for a delightful little kick. It was one of the best breakfast sandwiches I’ve had in California and would definitely recommend!
And how could I resist their Happy Camper Latte? Anyone that knows me knows I love all things marshmallow and this was phenomenal! It’s basically a s’mores flavored latte that comes topped with two giant, perfectly toasted marshmallows. I got it iced - the coffee was smooth and it was surprisingly not overly sweet - It was heavenly!
I loved their location too - the little town of Mariposa is very walkable and Sticks is located right at the entrance of the cute River Rock Inn. They had a cozy ambiance with plenty of inside seating as well as a few outside tables surrounded by plants and flowers with views of the town.
If you’re staying at the River Rock Inn, you get 20% off your breakfast from 7-10am as well so that’s pretty cool! I stayed nearby while visiting Yosemite but would consider staying here next time - and will definitely be back for breakfast next time I’m in town!"
